Does anyone know anything about Enco band saws? There is a guy selling a 14" enco for 200 bucks but no pics to go by just this ad..

Enco 14” vertical ¾ HP Wood Cutting Band Saw Model #199-9003 91 ½ - 93” blade

Wondering if it is worth it to look at further?

Dennis, I've only owned one Enco Tool - it was a small horizontal/vertical metal cutting bandsaw, and the quality was very disappointing. I had to do extensive work on it (including re-machining some of the bearing surfaces) in order to get it to cut somewhat straight, and I ended up giving it away out of frustration.

I purchased at auction an Enco combination belt and 10 inch disc sander. Worth the $45 I paid for but really it's pretty poorly designed. I know nothing of their bandsaw.
